Kirby Fantasy Fiction Magazine



Description
Note: one submission per issue.

I am a filmmaker and a fan of fantasy fiction who thought it was a good idea to launch a magazine
that publishes original Second-World Fantasy Fiction.

What I am looking for
Immersive, fully realised worlds shaped by original histories, mythologies, cultures, and internal logic.

I am particularly drawn to:

Strong narrative voice / Emotional consequence / Worldbuilding that feels lived-in / Stories that trust the reader
